Bare patches, muddy areas after rain, and lawns that never quite recover from summer heat are common complaints from homeowners with natural grass, particularly in shaded or heavily used gardens. Total Driveway Specialist Ltd supplies and installs artificial grass across Bishop's Stortford, giving you a lawn that looks green and even all year round without the upkeep a real lawn demands.
We handle every stage of the process, from preparing the ground properly to selecting a grass that suits how your garden is actually used.
Artificial grass has moved on considerably from the flat, obviously fake turf of years past, and we install it across a wide range of garden types including:

Drainage Backed Grass
An artificial lawn is only as good as the groundwork and drainage beneath it, which is why our approach focuses on getting the preparation right first.
Preventing pooling, odour issues and premature wear.
Trained specifically in artificial grass installation.
Agreed before work begins, with no unexpected extras.
Recommending a product suited to your garden and needs rather than the cheapest option available.
Our focus is on a lawn that still looks and performs well several years down the line, not just on the day it is laid.
A great looking artificial lawn depends almost entirely on the preparation beneath it, which is why we do not treat this as a quick surface job.
Assessing your garden, drainage and how the space is used before discussing grass options.
Clearing the existing grass and excavating to the correct depth.
Installing a compacted, free draining foundation beneath the turf.
Rolling out the grass, joining sections seamlessly, then securing the edges and adding sand infill for stability and a natural feel.
Checking levels, joins and edging before handover.
We keep you updated throughout and will always flag anything unexpected uncovered during ground preparation before continuing.
Artificial grass costs depend on the grass itself and the amount of preparation your garden needs, so we avoid quoting a generic per metre rate that would rarely apply accurately to a real project. Every quote follows a proper site visit.
The main factors influencing cost include:
The size of the area being covered. As larger lawns require more material and labour.
The quality and pile type of grass chosen. Since premium products cost more than entry level options.
Ground preparation required. Including removal of an existing lawn and any levelling needed.
Drainage provisions. Particularly important for gardens that already struggle with standing water.
Edging and border detailing. Which gives a neater finish around patios, beds and paths.
Site access. As restricted access can affect how efficiently materials are brought in.

Most standard garden lawns can be completed within a day or two, depending on the size of the area and the amount of ground preparation required. We confirm a realistic timeframe once we have surveyed your garden.
Yes, in most cases the existing lawn needs to be removed so we can build a proper sub-base and drainage layer underneath. Skipping this step is one of the main reasons artificial lawns fail prematurely.
Yes, provided it is installed correctly. A properly built sub-base with adequate drainage is designed to handle rainwater effectively, which can actually improve on how a poorly draining natural lawn performs.
Artificial grass can feel warmer underfoot than natural grass in direct summer sun, though this is generally short lived and cools quickly once shaded or in the evening. We can advise on grass types that help minimise this if it is a particular concern.
With correct installation and reasonable care, a good quality artificial lawn is designed to remain in strong condition for many years, though this depends on the product chosen and how the garden is used.
